For styrene, butyrate, and ABS (and the plastics in HP -- at least calculators and
95/200LX -- and grey Toshiba laptop cases), try Tenax 7R, available at well-supplied hobby
shops or mailorder from Micro-Mark (www.micromark.com). It's a water-thin solvent. For
wider cracks, you can disolve some plastic in a small amount of solvent and flow that into
the crack.

Plastic model cement is pretty much useless these days, as they
have removed nearly all of the solvent type chemicals from the product.

Have you tried that product on ABS+PC blends? I've not found anything
suitable for those yet. All the solvents I've tried left the joint very
brittle. The only plastics I've found to be more difficult are nylon and
teflon (seemingly near impossible to bond back together).
